    The TV icon died on December 18 last year but her death was only publicly announced this week.

    Willis joined Good Morning Britain in 1983, thanks to TV titan Greg Dyke.

    The trailblazing 34-year-old brought a fresh, animated take to the forecasts in a far more serious era.

    At the peak of her career, during the mid-80s, she featured on the game show Treasure Hunt alongside Anneka Rice.

    A contract dispute led Willis to resign from TV-am in 1987, after which her television career largely came to a halt.

    In the following years, she dedicated her time as a conservation volunteer aiding endangered species globally.

    Willis also hosted radio shows for BBC Coventry & Warwickshire and for BBC Hereford & Worcester.
